Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale 1: Sudden onset of life-threatening conditions of children may occur in the emergency department.
Rationale 2: Children admitted to the PICU often face the sudden onset of life-threatening illnesses.
Rationale 3: Although the operating room can have sudden onset of life-threatening conditions, the parents are not in the operating room.
Rationale 4: The condition of infants in the NICU can deteriorate suddenly, and the parents may respond with shock and disbelief.
Rationale 5: Many children attending the pediatric cancer clinics have life-threatening illnesses, but the onset is not sudden and the parents at the clinic will not typically be expressing shock and disbelief.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale:

1. Age 46 months is the optimal age to begin supplemental feedings. Earlier feeding of nonformula foods is not needed by the infant, and does not promote sleep.
2. Earlier feeding of nonformula foods, regardless of the infant's weight, is more likely to cause the development of food allergies.
3. Fruit juice and rice cereal are not well tolerated by infants at 2 months of age, as they lack the digestive enzymes to take in and metabolize many food products.
4. Fruit juice and rice cereal are not well tolerated by infants at 2 months of age, as they lack the digestive enzymes to take in and metabolize many food products.
